Topic:
No First Use Policies and Nuclear Disarmament
The delegation of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia acknowledges the United Nations non proliferation treaty ( NPT ) and actively supports keeping the world free of nuclear weapons. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hopes to keep transparency with other member states and hopes to work with other middle eastern nations to introduce reductions of nuclear weapons. The Kingdom has also implemented regulations to reduce public access to fissile materials in order to prevent nuclear terrorism. Saudi Arabia believes in maintaining a middle east without nuclear weapons through treaties such as the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not produce WMD´s or any fissile material as of 2025.
First use policy has been increasingly controversial following the conflict in Ukraine in 2022. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supports the implementation of a nuclear free Middle East with cooperation with other member states. This includes increased transparency and activism to keep the Middle East safer, and nations with nuclear weapons to adopt the ¨No first use¨ policy.
